lyrics
Fuel goes in and it turns to fire
Smoke comes out and it tugs the wire
I’m an engine
Just a dumb machine
And I only run right when the light goes green
Singin’ hey ho
Hear the angels blow
Their trumpets and shake them tambourines
Singin’ hey ho
I’ll be good to go
Won’t you let me know when the light goes green
A couple years back someone said to me,
“Son, you can’t go changin’ what you’re meant to be”
I ain’t livin’ ain’t dead
Somethin’ in between
But it’s all gonna change when the light goes green
Singin’ hey ho
Hear the angels blow
Their trumpets and shake them tambourines
Singin’ hey ho
I’ll be good to go
Won’t you let me know when the light goes green
When the light goes green
When the light goes green
I’ll have to get by on humble pie and gasoline
And I wouldn’t know luck if it up and bit me
Gave a good swift kick where the good lord split me
Brushed me off and sent me on my way
Sun comes up and it falls back down
Rain don’t give a damn where it hits the ground
It’s a hard world
It’ll cut you clean
And you gotta be ready when the light goes green
Singin’ hey ho
Hear the angels blow
Their trumpets and shake them tambourines
Singin’ hey ho
I’ll be good to go
Won’t you let me know when the light goes green
Singin’ hey ho
Hear the angels blow
Their trumpets and shake their tambourines
Singin’ hey ho
I’ll be good to go
Won’t you let me know when the light goes green
Won’t you let me know when the light goes green

One of those singer/songwriter types your mama warned you about, Tod Weidner has embarked upon a long awaited solo career
after decades as a fixture on the Ohio music scene. Tod founded and led Dayton mainstays Shrug and was a member of Motel Beds and many other notable groups, to boot. He serves up songs with the ragged, passionate musical heart of a rocker and the wordsmithery of a Beat poet....more
